On 18 November, the Concello de Vigo will publicly announce the names of the three winners of a competition to design and create a sculpture in honour of Iago Aspas, a prominent player for Real Club Celta.
The Administrative Tribunal for Public Procurement, known as TACGal, has dismissed an appeal submitted by a bidder whose proposal was excluded for breaching the anonymity rules set out in the competition's regulations. The Mayor of Vigo stated that the tribunal's decision supports the Concello's position, emphasising that the appellant failed to maintain complete anonymity when submitting their offer.
With the appeal dismissed, the public opening will reveal the winner, who will receive €9,000 for their sculpture, as well as the second and third place winners, who will be awarded €4,000 and €2,000, respectively. The sculpture, to be crafted in artistic bronze casting, will be life-sized and depict Aspas in his Celta kit. It is set to be installed at the junction of the Marcador-Centenario stands and the Tribuna.
